There is a new upper-crust heirarchy of officialdom growing in Washington and a new manner of telling just how big a guy is in government. The simple test is to determine how many jobs a federal gold braider is holding at the same time. Most any servant of the people is a big shot but IWlth all the hills before me still Jiicllmbeil, With all my hopes and none of them quite sure.

I'd like to start again at the beginning To face the world and all its hopes and fears, To see far goals and think them worth the winning, With all ahead which fills the furious years. Yet, could it be, some joys I'd want repeated. The same high trust my early manhood knew; The same glad family at the table seated, And then the self-same brown-eyed maid to woo.

The same true friends to share the joys and sorrows; Perhaps a bit more courage trouble-tried.

They boil down to two principal functions as secretary of commerce and federal loan administrator, but this latter Job is as many-sided as a fourth dimension cube. For in the Federal Loan Agency are the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Defense Supplies Corporation, Rubber Reserve Corporation and a flock ol related organizations with government banking functions. Under Jones in Federal Loan Administration are a dozen or mora officials known in Washington familiarly as the Jones boys. They serve as presidents, chairmen, directors and trustees of these FLA children in as clubby an interlocking directorate as was ever devised for a holding company maze on Wall Street. Their names may not make the headlines so much and they are perhaps not widely known outside of Washington, but they're in there pitching, every one on from three to nine of the 16 corporations which make up the Federal Loan Agency portfolio.

Sam H. Husbands is on nine, Carroll B. Mer-rial and Henry A. Milligan on eight, Charles B. Henderson and Howard J.

Klossner on seven, William C. Costello, Georgs R. Cook-sey, Rubert J. Linquist on six, and so on. Each is a president of at least one company and a brass hat on several others.

Harold Ickes belongs, by reason of being secretary of the 'nterior, coal administrator and oil administrate but the less said about this the better. In sub-cabinet posts, Paul V. McNutt two-steps into the club room through his double job as federal security administrator and co-ordi-nator of health, welfare and related defense activities. Donald M. Nelson rates by being executive director of the Supply, Priorities and Allocation Board and director of the Priorities Division of OPM, presenting the strange spectacle of a man working for himself and being his own boss at the same time.

These, reader, are the boys who run Washington today, but to clear up one possible misunderstanding, all this doubling in brass beds that the big shots do doesn't mean that each of the members draws two or more salaries from the government. The rule is one man, one paycheck. The taxpayers save a little in that respect WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1941. George W. Williams has sold his barber shop on Luzerne avenue to C.

The Far Eastern situation was described today by trustworthy sources here and abroad to be heading toward decisive developments which would soon determine whether there is to be war or peace in the Pacific.

Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, in an Armistice Day speech last night, warned that "the hour of decision Is that United States patience toward Japan has reached its limit. Reliable sources outlined the basic factors in the approaching showdown between the two countries as follows: 1. The United States and Great Britain have decided on a policy of firmness for the forthcoming discussions with Saburu Kurusu. Japan's special envoy now flying across the Pacific. 2.

Japan and China both are in a critical internal condition after more than four years of warfare. 3. China fears a Japanese expedition to cut off American supplies going into the interior over the Burma Road. Success of such a campaign might cause the Chinese to sue for peace with Japan. 4.

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has appealed to the United States and Britain for military aid if Japan makes such a move. The United States has not committed itself on that count but China has been assured that none of China's interests will he sacrificed in the TT. S. -Japanese discussions. 5.

Japan's resources have reached such a. Inw point that it is doubtful whether she would be able to undertake a campaign of sufficient size to threaten the Rurma route. 6. Kurusu will seek to win some loosening of the present economic restrictions against Japan. He Is prepared to go to almost any length to attain it.

Some responsible leaders In Japan helieve they nnist eventually surrender to America's superior economic strength. 7. The war parly in Japan may seize upon any indication that Japan's government contemplates surrender for an attempt to take matters into its own hands for a desperate effort to break by force the so-called A BCD (American, British, Chinese and Dutch East Indies) "encirclement." Kurusu is expected by the Japanese embassy to arrive here this week-end and to begin conferences with American authorities next week. During the lust few months, while the "exploratory" talks have heen dragging on here and in Tokyo, the Anglo-American positions In the Far East is said to have been strengthened, while Japan's precarious and vulnerable position wns described as becoming worse Judging from the speech this week of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, a situation which the Japanese long have feared now has become an actuality the addition of British warships to western Pacific liases. Japanese naval strategists have geared all their planning toward a possible clash with the United States but they have admitted privately that a few British war craft, acting In conjunction with the American Navy, would tip the odds hopelessly against Japan in the event of a naval war.

been awaited with deep anxiety. It may be said' that if our warships had been kept at home, safe in our harbors, or practicing maneuvers near our shores, they would never have been molested. The American people have always flailed tbelr ships to every port in the world, and when they wanted to they sold munitions to fighting powers. Some people say this ancient right and privilege should be given up. Possibly it should, but our people have never been great on taking the back track.

Without doubt our naval ships are shooting back. Our boys are trained to hit at pitched baseballs moving in a twisting curve with high velocity. The eye and sense of aim developed in that practice will take effect on any Nazi submarine that shows its head within shooting distance. cluded his third term na treasurer mammal 22 Atmosphere. 23 Son.
